An isotope mass balance approach to measure variability in nitrogen fluxes, allocation and assimilation in balsam poplar (Populus balsamifera L.) and other plants

Populus species or their hybrids are being increasingly used as feedstock for the growing bioenergy industry. To optimize carbon uptake efficiencies, fertilizer inputs must be minimized while, at the same time, achieving rapid growth. The complexity of nitrogen uptake and assimilation in plants and...
